12 Brides reveal the shocking reasons they hated their weddings

Weddings are stressful at the best of times, and downright heart attack-inducing at the worst. If you've ever been involved in your fair share of nuptials, you'll know that the so-called "wonderful" time always descends into chaos. And regardless of whether this is because it proves impossible to please your in-laws, or make everything fit into an already tight budget, one thing is guaranteed: it never goes exactly to plan.

Certainly, we Millennials are saying "no" to marriage in record numbers. Whilst our parents and grandparents thought entering into the institution of marriage in their early twenties was the "normal" thing to do, we eschew settling down with a near-religious fervour. As such, it's become common to hear horror stories about people tying the knot. So let's take a look at some of the most surprising reasons why brides ended up despising their own weddings, shall we?
